Kelly McEvenue could probably teach the Bard himself a thing or two about his myriad works. </div>
<div class="field field-name-field-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>She has spent decades immersed within Shakespeare’s works, his hidden nuances, his many messages, his twists and his turns. Through her work, she has utilized the Alexander Technique, teaching that one’s body is the vessel from which great acting flows. McEvenue’s book, The Actor and the Alexander Technique, was first published in England with Methuen in 2001 and then with Palgrave-MacMillan in New York. In addition to her 30-year career with the <span>world-renowned Stratford Festival, she has taught extensively in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, and served as a movement consultant for numerous films and television programs. </span><span>For the past 15 years, she has also worked with Interlochen’s students on their Shakespeare productions. </span></p>
<p><span>This year, she came to the campus to help the students understand, and breathe life into, the complicated and varied world of Coriolanus. The Theatre Arts Department will be presenting </span><a href="//www.interlochen.org/performing-arts-series-2013-14" target="_blank">Coriolanus on February 28 and March 1</a><span>. McEvenue was particularly excited about working with the students on this production, one of Shakespeare’s lesser known, yet most relevant, stark and real plays.</span></p>
<p>“Coriolanus is a big, monster of a play,” says McEvenue. “I’m really enjoying it! I was a bit like ‘oh my goodness, Coriolanus?’ But, in fact, it’s a good choice because it has a lot of ensemble work and a lot of crowd and angry mob scenes. There are also a couple of great parts that include young, virile folk. The students can fill the boots of the piece. The Coriolanus actor is really stepping up - he’s a big, complicated guy. You like him, you hate him. That’s what this whole play is about. His pride and his hubris.”</p>
<p>Coriolanus is certainly a play that spans the centuries. The themes of dissatisfaction in one’s role, stepping in over one’s head, fighting the powers that be, corruption, deceit, revenge, politicking and the games therein, these are all themes that continue on the world’s stage today.</p>
<p>Of course, the fact that the students participating in this production are stepping up and are taking on this challenge is no surprise to McEvenue.</p>
<p>“The kids here are great,” she says. “I find this place is like a college. I forget it’s a high school. I forget that they don’t have a certain life experience. This theatre program does very sound work, from technique to acting pedagogy. It’s all well covered and these students know their stuff. Interlochen is a pretty impressive place.”</p>
<p>But, in addition to all that, McEvenue has an even better reason to buy a ticket and take a seat.</p>
<p>“Well, it’s Shakespeare, “ she says. “He never fails. He’s consistent. He’s the greatest writer ever. If you’ve never seen this play, risk coming.”</p> </div></div></div>Mon, 03 Feb 2014 20:33:25 +0000brooks.vanderbush25871 at http://www.interlochen.orgInterlochen Shakespeare Festivalhttp://tickets.interlochen.org/shakespeare

<p>The Interlochen Shakespeare Festival draws on the unique resources of the Interlochen Center for the Arts to present bold and innovative interpretations of the classics. Founded in 2008 and led by artistic director <a href="//www.interlochen.org/person/william-church">William Church</a>, a core ensemble of Interlochen faculty, staff and alumni commits itself to engaging northwest Michigan audiences through professional theatre that celebrates the Shakespearean imagination.<span> <br /></span></p>
<h2>Summer 2016 - "Romeo and Juliet"</h2>
<p>July 1&amp;2 and July 8&amp;9 - 8 p.m.<br />Upton-Morley Pavilion<br /><a href="http://tickets.interlochen.org/" target="_blank">Tickets: $32</a></p>
<p>Experience the classic tale of star-crossed lovers under the starry skies of Upton-Morley Pavilion. Shakespeare’s timeless story of love and loss is staged by some of Interlochen’s finest instructors and alumni as part of the annual Shakespeare Festival. When love blossoms in the midst of a family feud, two young lovers risk their lives to be together. Can their love overcome their families’ hate?</p>
<p>Interlochen’s production of Romeo and Juliet stars Interlochen alumnus Harry Thornton (IAC 12-14) and alumna Ema Horvath (IAC 08, IAA 10-12). Directed by William Church.</p>
<h2><strong>"Circle Mirror Transformation"<br /></strong></h2>
<p>July 5, 6 &amp; 7 - 8 p.m.<br />Harvey Theatre<br /><a href="http://tickets.interlochen.org/" target="_blank">Tickets: $32</a></p>
<p>For the first time, the Interlochen Shakespeare Festival expands to present contemporary American theatre, in line with the Arts Festival's <em>Young Americans</em> focus. Written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning young American playwright Annie Baker, <em>Circle Mirror Transformation</em> gives audiences a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the cathartic process of theater as a diverse group of adults participates in several acting games—finding themselves, friendship, and even love along the way.</p>
<p>When five people come together in a small room in a small town in Vermont for an "Adult Creative Drama" class, they find they must navigate not only one another but also their own pasts and future dreams. Marty, the class's impassioned teacher, works to wrangle an intimate and motley crew: her reluctant husband, James; Shultz, a newly divorced carpenter; Teresa, a former New York City actress; and Lauren, a local teenager. </p>
<p>Don’t miss the chance to see <em>Circle Mirror Transformation</em>, which is fast becoming a treasure of the contemporary American theatre.</p>
<h2>Past Productions</h2>
<p>After the sold-out success of its first two productions, "Twelfth Night" and "The Taming of the Shrew," the company presented "Macbeth" in 2010, "The Merchant of Venice" in 2011, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in 2012, "Hamlet" in 2013, "The Tempest" in 2014 and "As You Like It" in 2015.</p> </div>
